Kundasannibha (कुन्दसन्निभ) refers to “that which is (white as white) as a jasmine flower”, according to the Śrīmatottara-tantra, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, while describing Trikhaṇḍā: “[...] She has three sections, three faces, a divine form and large belly. She has three eyes on each face and is blissful with wine. (The face) in front is white like snow, a jasmine flower or the moon [i.e., kundasannibhahimakundendusannibha]. Content and tranquil, its gaze is immersed in subtle contemplation and, radiant with divine jewels, is adorned with jewel earrings. [...]”.
